But if you quit then you can leave them a few clues as to why you’re leaving and how they might avoid losing more staff.
The reason I’m quitting is because they didn’t pick up the clues that I was looking to leave, and I don’t want to help them avoid losing more staff because of it. The people I left behind should take the hint if they were smart.
Don’t worry. When I tell someone “Have a nice day.”, that means I’ve blocked them and will no longer engage with them.
I also understand that the advantage of encountering a bear is that they would know to immediately run the fuck away.
You’ve completely missed the point of picking the bear. It has nothing to do with the bear. Have a nice day.
Individual men were hurt by feeling classified as more dangerous to a random woman than a bear in the woods when their lived experiences place them well below that threat
It’s quite obvious which side you’ve picked. You talk about men’s lived experiences while complaining that women talking about their lived experiences “trampled over a lot of innocent men.”
There’s no point in debating this. If you’re really just a spectator, then you wouldn’t be actively arguing about it. But I don’t have to play along with this. That’s my choice…
It’s one thing to say that you feel hurt by the idea that a woman would choose a bear over you. It’s another to argue that they are wrong to make that choice and that women are just being irrational. You have every right to feel hurt and to express that you feel hurt. You don’t have the right to tell anyone else what choice to make. That’s the line that was crossed. That’s where they were no longer innocent men. Of course you’re not going to win an argument when you try to control other people’s choices. The entire reason women choose the bear is because of men trying to control them. You don’t have to like that choice, but you do have to accept it because it’s not your choice to make.
That’s the real winning move…accepting women’s choices, no matter how “wrong” you think it is.
The choice may have been controversial, but the number of men telling women they are being stupid and irrational for picking the bear was unnecessary. Not to mention that it totally explained why women pick the bear.
You’d think, but after that man vs bear thing I realized this place can be just as bad. Some instances are tolerant, but other seem to be more combative and less tolerant. The only benefit here is that I can block the less tolerant instances and people more easily.
Honestly, nothing yet. I’ve only been playing with it for a few weeks. I just use the web interface on my phone to test the voice control. I’ve been looking at the esp32 devices that people have been building, but a lot of them admit that they can’t come anywhere close to the reliability of the microphone array used in the Alexa.
And this is exact the reason I’m building a Home Assistant instance with local voice processing. Right now it takes a few seconds to process a request and take action on my crappy 1.8ghz laptop with only 4gb of RAM, but it basically does everything I use Alexa for. This announcement is just encouraging me to build a better server with an esp32 satellite.
Obligatory “Real users use Hannah Montana Linux” post.
And everyone will still call it Twitter.
Wanted to play some games, didn’t have money but I did know someone that knew someone that knew someone that ran a BBS that had some pirated games.
Yes, I’m that old.
For Toronto, you have Metro Toronto which is the original city. The Greater Toronto Area includes all the cities that were amalgamated into Toronto in 1998, plus Mississauga and Brampton. It just denotes an area that’s generally included with the major city when referring to the entire region.
Decimate my fapping addiction? I think you mean exacerbate…
I quit every single weekday!
This post is far from being the first relating to the experience of sexual abuse
Yeah, and? So what if it’s not the first one. There’s no limit on the number of posts about sexual assault that women are allowed to create.
This post is not that. It’s a ragebait utilizing an attack
No, it’s women sharing stories about why they choose the bear. You call it ragebait simply because you put yourself in the group that isn’t being picked by women.
In those circumstances, calling someone to listen and ignoring them telling you they see an attack in the way this is shaped is hypocritical at best.
Yes, it is, which is why I don’t understand why you keep doing it. This is not an attack against you. You’ve been told that several times now.
As a wider point, I also say that we should listen not only to women (but to them too), but also to men,
Fine. Great. Let’s listen to men. But a post about how women are choosing the bear and why is not the place to insist that we must listen to men.
If your priority is prevention rather than pure shows of hostility, you better be a listener for both, regardless of the direction of abuse.
Right. Which is why you should stop talking about being attacked and just listen.
You are not being oppressed just because you’re a man.
We just had to listen to black people saying what to do all along.
You’re so very very close, but you just don’t want to take that last step. So let’s carry you the rest of the way.
We just had to listen to women saying what to do all along.
You’re in a post filled with women sharing their SA stories and explanating why they choose the bear. Instead of crying that you’re being attacked, why not try listening to them. Not suggest solutions, not tell that they are wrong for choosing the bear, not explaining how dangerous bears actually are, not taking things personally because these stories are not about you or what you would do. Just listen, and at least try to empathize. That’s all. If you want to make a post to vent about how you’re supposedly oppressed, go right ahead. But this post is not about you.
Black people have been enslaved and then treated like shit by racists for centuries. That’s why they are associated with criminal activity, not because they actually commit more crimes compared to everyone else. It’s not the same as the vast difference of men committing violent sexual assaults on women as opposed to women committing violent sexual assaults on men. The fact that you’re trying to equate them just shows you’re a racist as well.
Besides, here you agree with black people it’s not just “people venting”, it is an attack.
a comparison of men to dangerous animals, irrespective of any nuance, which is a form of attack on a social group.
You said that, not me.
Again, no one is attacking men. A bunch of women were asked on camera by a man, without warning, and they gave an off the cuff honest answer. You can’t get upset with all women just because some made a choice you don’t agree with. Especially not when that choice has nothing do with you, because they don’t even know you exist. Seriously, get over yourself. It’s not about you…
Sticks and stones can break my bones, but whips and chains excite me.
You’ll either creep them out so they leave you alone, or you find a new friend with benefits.
